Project: Student Civic Action: Engaging and Empowering Emerging Leaders in Universities in Jordan
Evaluation Date: March 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The sub-grant component was an effective incentive and increased the project’ s reach and impact, and the percentage of funds allocated for this could be increased in future projects. Equal importance should be provided to small CSOs and CBOs as sub-grantees, as this small amount of funding can make a significant difference in the marginalized areas where they work.

Project: Student Civic Action: Engaging and Empowering Emerging Leaders in Universities in Jordan
Evaluation Date: March 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project incorporated sustainability into its design as it taught the students how to do things for themselves, and then gave them the opportunity to put those skills to use. The links it developed between some of the youth and the CSOs was strong with some of the youth still working with the same CSOs.

Project: Pour une Diplomatie Non Gouvernementale
Evaluation Date: March 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project activities had an impact on those platforms and NGOs that were directly involved but it is not clear how the platforms and networks will be sustainable in the longer term given the lack of a strategic fundraising approach. The grantee needs to search for alternative and diversified sources of funding to ensure continuity of the activities and optimization of the effects and impact of the initiatives undertaken.

Project: Pour une Diplomatie Non Gouvernementale
Evaluation Date: March 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project wide Facilitation Group played an important role. It focused on strengthening governance, institutionalizing and structuring the Forum. Focusing on governance allowed for the drafting of statutes, rules of procedure and a charter of values, all of which can contribute to longer term sustainability.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Disparities among the participants regarding their basic knowledge on key-topics hindered the satisfactory implementation of some training sessions. Organizing trainees into more homogeneous groups by distinguishing different levels of training – basic, advanced – in topics such as national development and sectorial, as well as public finances and local governance could address the issue.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The grantee in Morocco was very efficient in the operational follow-up of the project. Each external collaborator was expected to prepare a final report. Unfortunately, the quality of the reports showed serious discrepancies due to the lack of a standard template. This also limited the comparability of the results and the potential to further improve training and seminar quality.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The capability of the CSOs to dialogue and to make themselves heard by political and legislative decision-makers remained limited, in particular at parliament level. Advocacy and lobbying activities among members of parliament supported by audio-visual tools, infographic sheets and properly written and formatted press releases could ensure better visibility and awareness.
